读过《1984》 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
今年的一些重读，每次读1984总是忍不住惊叹，奥威尔太懂人性了，完全没有抱着一丝幻想和盲目乐观，人性的美好可以那么轻易地被恐惧击溃，前面Winston和Julia谈恋爱的地方写得真美，love is resistance，两个人初次约会的段落真的是heartbreaking beauty……然后爱有多美把它撕碎就有多令人扼腕……另外真的很喜欢奥威尔把思想控制最终归结到语言控制上，从字典里删除一些词有效防止thought crime，一些即视感……
1984 [Book] Douban Goodreads
A PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick
With extraordinary relevance and renewed popularity, George Orwell’s 1984 takes on new life in this hardcover edition.
“Orwell saw, to his credit, that the act of falsifying reality is only secondarily a way of changing perceptions. It is, above all, a way of asserting power.”— The New Yorker
In 1984 , London is a grim city in the totalitarian state of Oceania where Big Brother is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind. Winston Smith is a man in grave danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions. Drawn into a forbidden love affair, Winston finds the courage to join a secret revolutionary organization called The Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be.
Lionel Trilling said of Orwell’s masterpiece “ 1984 is a profound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating book. It is a fantasy of the political future, and like any such fantasy, serves its author as a magnifying device for an examination of the present.” Though the year 1984 now exists in the past, Orwell’s novel remains an urgent call for the individual willing to speak truth to power.
